Re: SFTP SSH File transfer slow
I'm also having the same problem. I'm running Ubuntu server 10.04.1 and Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. I have gigabit network between the computers, and the speed is good for ordinary ftp. sftp is really slow, down to 100 megabit. I have been trying to find any sollution to this transfer limitation, but no luck.
I'm trying to have as few server processes as possible on my server box, and was hoping to get by with only ssh.
Is there any way to increase the transfer rate in sftp?
Edit: I just tested with sshfs, and got 14.5 mb/sec, transfering a 700mb ISO file. Non of the computers are working hard during this process, and non of the hard drives are either. Everything is looking completely normal, except for the speed.
